MU and Ronaldo’s heart

Joy at Old Trafford

72 minutes against Brentford at Old Trafford, Raphael Varane made a right-footed volley to score the third goal for MU and it was his first goal since moving to English football.

This situation took place 60 seconds before the time when MU fans called to leave the field to protest against the Glazer family, who took ownership of the team.

As planned, MU fans will leave the field in the 73rd minute, 17 minutes before the official end of the game, to show their opposition to the 17th anniversary of the Glazer family becoming the Red Devils owner.

But not many people leave Old Trafford, in MU’s last match at home for the 2021-22 season.

This reflects the performance of MU players in the match against Brentford. Ralf Rangnick’s players had a convincing performance to hold the fans until the last minute.

This is undeniably the worst season for MU, in a series of 5 consecutive seasons with nothing. Even winning the last 2 matches, the Red Devils ended up with the lowest score in the era Premier League (maximum score 64 points).

Before that, MU’s lowest score in the Premier League was 66. This number appeared 3 times, all in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era: 2015-16, 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.

Victory over Brentford, one of the few best matches since Rangnick replaced Solskjaer, somewhat eased the disappointment. At the same time, a 3-0 result and a positive performance in terms of spirit also bring promise of a bright future, with new captain Erik ten Hag.

Ronaldo’s heart

The goals and attractive gameplay that MU performed convinced the fans, although it was a bit too late. Only a miracle will help the traditional Manchester team win a place in the Champions League next season.

“We controlled the ball about 74% in the first half, and 65% of the whole game. We just had our best performance in six months,” said Ralf Rangnick.

In that convincing performance, Cristiano Ronaldo was truly the heart of the team. He plays an important role in terms of gameplay, attacking positions as well as moral values.

Ronaldo has the 4th consecutive game to score for MU in the Premier League (6 goals). This achievement brings him closer to the unimaginable milestone: 700 goals for clubs. The Portuguese star only needs 2 more goals, in the last 2 matches, to reach the historic milestone.

Brentford became the 168th opponent that Ronaldo hit the net, counting in the colors of the clubs and the Portuguese team.

At the age of 37, despite skepticism and criticism from former MU players, Ronaldo still achieved spectacular performance. CR7 spent the 15th consecutive season scoring 18 or more goals in Europe’s top national championships.

Ronaldo’s spirit positively affects those around him, promoting the collective will so that MU suffocates Brentford, a guy who has caused many difficulties for big teams this season.

Ronaldo’s inspiration helps Bruno Fernandes to awaken, creating confidence for young Elanga player. Varane also found resonance to get a positive spin from his departure from Real Madrid.

They are the factors that are highly expected in the new era with Ten Hag.

“I’m not done yet”, Ronaldo said in front of the camera. MU desperately needs his spirit for the future resurgence.
